All future tense, dom... 'Will' sound as good.

I (and I think just about everyone here, given your sales to mostly non-European and American countries) want something that 'DOES' sound as good (if not better, at that price!).

The reason I keep things as long as I do is because I chose wisely in the first place, then I rely on my FINGERS to improve how I play, not on technology

I already have a good WS (my K2500S), and I already have a decent VSTi setup for the studio and home. All I need is ONE great arranger that does what it should (sound great and have great styles) the day I buy it. Anything I can add to that afterwards is wonderful, but to HAVE to do all that JUST to sound acceptable is not what I'm looking for.

And please don't kid yourself or us, Dom... if the MS did what most arranger players want it to do, and was affordable, you would be #1 worldwide. You are not. Are we ALL wrong, or could it possibly be you? Give us what we want (rather than what you think we OUGHT to be using) and we'll beat a path to your door.

Give us a VSTi based WS with half baked styles and sounds and arranger features OOTB, and we won't (or rather, haven't)...
